Buffet breakfast praised for variety and quality, described as a major highlight with fresh options and a chef for made-to-order eggs. Cleanliness rated very high, with rooms and common areas noted as well maintained. Staff service repeatedly highlighted as friendly, professional, and accommodating, with examples of helpful reception staff and attentive breakfast team. Free bike rentals and fitness facilities including a gym and sauna add to guest convenience. Good location close to city centre, convention centre, and entertainment venues. Several reviews mentioned dated bathroom facilities, with fixed showerheads over bathtubs and need for renovation. Outdoor pool was reported as small, cold, and sometimes unclean, disappointing for families with children. Some guests experienced issues with billing transparency and security holds causing delayed refunds. Parking can be challenging for taller vehicles, with access requiring coordination with front desk staff, which was slow during busy periods. Certain rooms near the main atrium may suffer from noise, and some rooms felt small compared to international standards.

We stay here every time when we are in Canberra. Loves the buffet breakfast and late check out. Used the gym and the ping pong table. Had a very relaxing stay, happy with everything and would come back again.

Canberra is a beautiful city, with streets and buildings that feel almost brand new. The bus station for trips from Sydney to Canberra is right next to the Novotel, and it's just a few hundred meters walk to the Crowne Plaza. The hotel facilities are good, with a pool and gym. The room size is smaller than what you'd find in China but larger than in Japan. Now, about the service: when I arrived, I was initially given a connecting room, and then later moved to a twin room. It made me feel like the front desk staff was a 'tour guide' for a dodgy tour group.

This was my first stay at Crowne Plaza Canberra. Location was very convenient, close to the city and within walking distance of most places. The rooms were clean and good value for the price.
But, I am very disappointed with the billing experience. Everything was paid at checkout, But two days after I checkout, an additional amount was deducted from my bank account without my consent. When I contacted the hotel, I was told it was for Security hold. I have had to call and email again and again which is very frustrating. It has now been two weeks, and I still have not received my money back.
What I feel is the billing process should be transparent, and all guests must be informed before any amount is deducted from their account whether it is for security purpose or any other. Not happy at all.

The location is fantastic, right in the city center and incredibly close to the pedestrian street. The facilities are quite new, but the room was a bit on the small side.
19.02.2026 Guest
The location is very convenient, with many restaurants right outside the door. However, I didn't realize that hotels abroad don't provide slippers or similar amenities. Overall, it was pretty good. The outdoor pool didn't seem very clean, which was a bit disappointing for the kids.

I recently stayed here for a business trip. While the hotel is clean and the room is big and well sized.

However, the interiors and the carpark do feel a bit dated and would benefit from a refresh.

The location is slightly removed from the main shopping and dining precincts—be prepared for a 10-minute walk if you’re looking for a meal outside the hotel.

However, the breakfast buffet is a major highlight with an impressive variety of options. A reliable choice, provided you don't mind a short stroll for dinner."

My experience this time was extremely poor. There happened to be an event at the hotel, and there were only two staff members at the front desk, resulting in a very long check-in line. Because my car is taller than 1.9 meters, I had to park in the outdoor parking lot, and each time I needed to enter, I had to call the front desk for access.

However, because the front desk was very busy, my call was automatically transferred to the overseas service team. When I stopped my car at the entrance of the parking lot and called them to gain access, I was asked questions for five minutes to verify that I was a customer staying at the hotel. There were three children and an elderly person in the car. If I had not interrupted them, my car would have been blocked at the parking entrance for even longer.

To make matters worse, because my car was blocking the entrance, drivers behind me kept honking their horns. I believe the hotel needs to assign more staff to the front desk during peak times and review their processes to make the use of the outdoor parking lot smoother for guests.

Because of this very unpleasant experience, as an IHG member, I will not choose this hotel again in the future.

Relatively nice place. Staff were very good and they are both well trained and know their jobs. Breakfast is worth it, quite the spread and they do have plenty of seating. Rooms okay but try and avoid getting one in the main atrium area due to noise. Parking easy and quick access to rooms.

Stayed at Crowne Plaza Canberra and overall had a decent experience. The hotel is very clean, including the room and common areas, which we appreciated. However, the hotel does feel a bit dated, particularly the bathroom — the shower and bathtub would benefit from an upgrade.

The reception staff were friendly, polite, and professional, with smooth and efficient check-in and check-out. Breakfast was acceptable but had limited variety (see video).

The location is a plus, right in the city and next to Holey Moley and the entertainment arcade, making it convenient for families with kids. Overall, a clean and well-located hotel, though showing its age in some areas.

Great place for a pizza and some local craft. Looks like a great setup for performers as well.
10.12.2017 James
A really friendly bar with great staff, a good selection of regularly changing beers and well priced bar food. With weekly quiz nights, pool tables and great bands, this is one of my favourite venues in Canberra.
27.11.2017 Aiden
Great selection of local Canberran craft beers with live music and pool! Great atmosphere.
25.11.2017 Josh
Great place to check out the local bands, sample drinks from this coast of Australia, and play a few sets of pool.
